RE:RE:HYB: ? white TB parents

Linda, I certainly will have a challenge with certain cultivars here in zone 4b.
I would like to work with rebloomers, but I think that I will rarely have growing seasons long enough for anything to rebloom here, though I have had newly purchased cv's bloom in November last year just before we got the deep freeze.
Time will tell. The cv's I have grown in the past were not noted as rebloomers, but I am going to start venturing out in that direction. I will get one bloom per year at any rate. 
As far as the types of whites, or any cv for now, I am going through that, "what will survive here in my area." I purchased a number of rhizomes last season. What I have seen look like most have made it thus far. I did see one rhizome from Riverview iris "River Of Dreams" that didn't make it. Time will tell what did and didn't survive the first year here.
I do have an interest in some of the SA i've seen. And I do like a lot of ruffles on the iris. However, I really enjoy the "plain ol' historics" also. 
Oh well... time will tell what I can accomplish here. I hope to find some hardy varieties and possibly cross them to certain varieties that may not make it here, thus part of the reason for seeking out a nicely formed hardy white iris.
Thanks for your comments...
